would it be his choice to leave or did gmt let him go? as surely gm pay more than a new non descript brand?

Gloves also look very similar to the GM Originals of last year with the way the fingers are done.

Bloody awful if you ask me.

Title: Re: Du plessis new sponsor
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on January 04, 2014, 11:03:31 PM
Puma in general I think as stokes, wright and finch have all left now.

Noticed Borthwick was used one though still ?

Those stickers make that look like a dodgy backyard operation, very unprofessional, but they must have some decent coin to get an established International cricketer on board? Are this mob an Indian-based manufacturer?

The branding is a joke. Can't believe they are a Serious brand. Looks like something a GCSE student would concoct!

Finch is a massive loss to puma.  Finch, warner, kp, clarke, bell..... these guys sell the bats to the kids

it might just be going the way bat sponsors are in India and the likes of Finch, etc may just be sponsored for the BBL and then return to Puma after that? Cheaper for NB to sponsor for a 4 week stint than for a year, and better TV coverage. How many of you guys in the UK or India watch the 50 over Ryobi Cup tournament played here in Sept-Nov?

Those stickers look like they were designed by a 5 year old girl inspired by her colour in book!

Yuuuck!

Surely he has some links with that brand, such as family or friends involved.

Cant see why he'd leave GM unless forced, to use this gear, it looks horrific and how can an unheard brand have the money to pay him. So surely he has some links to it and is doing them a favour, cant see them taking off with that branding, poor old Faf

After making the change to this sponsor, I doubt there is much 'poor' about Faf. That bank account will be looking very healthy

Where have that money come from though? surely not through sales of their gear
Title: Re: Du plessis new sponsor
Post by: Jason_Yuan on January 11, 2014, 08:16:25 PM
dont understand of leaving GM for this brand..... NB is getting bigger in the market now with the amount of professionals they sponsor....

Post by: marcus7 on January 12, 2014, 05:09:50 PM
He used that bat during the Proteas VS. Springboks game , but most of the proteas had mixed kits. I guess its official then.
NB probably worked out that the expected sales of their new cricket gear in the stores would offset the cost to sponsor the players.
